Mapacho Bar Soap

$15.00

This soap, made with mapacho grown and cleansed in Peru, is a favorite for many reasons.

Mapacho is considered to be the master plant in many indigenous cultures. It is a grounding and sacred plant. I sat with mapacho for a week long dieta (twice) where I experienced it’s grounding properties, as well as it’s clarity.

When we need a lighthouse home to our truth, mapacho is there. When we want to say prayers for the world and our families, mapacho is a messenger to the Creator. When we need clarity of what the truth is, tobacco is there.

I use this soap when I do not want to smoke mapacho. I set an intention before I use it, thank it, sing to it and say a prayer to it. It is a beautiful medicine and I am so grateful to make it available in this form.

Ritual: During your bath or shower, or before bed, hold the Mapacho soap in your hands. Close your eyes, offer a song or a prayer, and ask for the medicine you are looking for. Be present with the soap as you wash it over you. Thank it when finished.

Ritually made in small batches on ceded Lenape land. Always intentionally worked with, prayed over, and made with offerings and the permission and collaboration of the plants and their want to be with us in many forms.

Mapacho is known for it’s healing properties; it connects us to source, it grounds us and brings clarity to our minds & hearts. It allows us to see things as they actually are. When using this soap, set an intention. Sit with this master plant and connect to it like you would an old friend. See where it takes you. Offer the mapacho to a place you see fit.

More than just a healing ally, each soap has a foundational base of oils and butters that also work together to be a healing soap for the skin.

Olive Oil: Cleanses as well as moisturizes. I soak dried eucalyptus, sage, pine, rose, chamomile, mullein, mugwort, lavender, marshmallow and rosemary in olive oil for two months to extract anti-aging, calming, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties from the plants so that the soap is just as healing for the skin as it is for the spirit. All herbs I either grow, forage, or buy from local farms. Truly farm to shower soap. :)

Coconut Oil: A great cleanser for the skin and makes for a harder bar

Cocoa Butter: Soothes dry or itchy skin and deeply moisturizes and makes for a longer lasting bar

Shea Butter: Reduces signs of aging as well as moisturizing

Mango Butter: Has moisturizing properties, helping to hydrate and soften skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and soothe irritated skin. Can help protect the skin from environmental damage, promote healing, and may even offer some UV protection

Avocado Oil: Helps with eczema and acne

Castor Oil: Reduces inflammation and can help with acne

Locally sourced Spring Water

I live near a beautiful spring that locals have been collecting as drinking water for years. I have never tasted water so pure and life giving. Each soap is made with this same spring water, which we pray to and give gifts to every time we go. This is truly a labor of love and the energy of the water is pure and loving.

Packaging

The labels for every soap is made out of recycled paper. I make every label from scratch and print it out at home with an eco friendly printer. For this reason, the label may not be what you see at stores, but is able to be recycled. I reuse packaging from past orders I myself have made and reuse bags I also was given as a way to reduce, reuse and recycle. You will find each package has its own charm!
